“Michael Hofmann’s taut, vivid and agile translation does eloquent justice to the inner and outer worlds of characters locked into private, and public, histories of doomed desires and broken dreams.”

This is the first time that a poetry collection has won the prize. The judges commented: “This volume is an epic achievement: it wrests a visionary language, where tragedy and transcendence meet, from the darkest places of 20th-century experience.”
